The Secular Creed: Engaging Five Contemporary Claims

Overview

In The Secular Creed, Rebecca McLaughlin outlines five contemporary claims that form a statement of belief for many of our secular neighbors. Since God has called us to live among neighbors and friends, with diverse backgrounds and beliefs, and we are called to love them and point them to the saving knowledge of Jesus, these are claims with which the Christian community must interact.

This book helps us dive deeper into some of the critical issues society is facing and shows how contemporary controversies point us back to our need for the rock-solid foundation of the love, mercy, dignity, and justice taught in our sacred text that was written two thousand years ago.

McLaughlin boldly engages sensitive topics that we are taught to avoid at family gatherings. She frames her chapters around five claims that have begun to appear on yard signs in cities across America: “Black Lives Matter,” “Love is Love,” “The Gay-Rights Movement Is the New Civil Rights Movement,” “Women’s Rights Are Human Rights,” and “Transgender Women Are Women.”
